We now have 5th death from a breakthrough case. But should emphasize these are very, very rare.
And of the 2,437 cases in the past week, 2,237 have been in unvaxxed people. The 7-day infection rate per 100k for unvaccinated people is 120 compared to 14.9 for fully vaxxed. #utpol
No variant numbers today.
Vaccinations very low (typical for Mon.).
• 1,570,854 w/ 1 shot, up 1,201. 48% of all Utahns, 60.4% of eligible.
• 1,396,838 fully vaxxed, up 1,643. 42.7% of Utahns, 53.7% of those eligible.
On pace to get 70% of adults 1 shot around Oct. 1. #utpol
Actually I made a mistake in that calculation. On pace to hit 70% of adults with 1 shot by mid-to-late September.
Utah is now 4th among states with fastest growth (5th if you count Guam).

Listening in on the @Intermountain presser on vaccine plans.
Dr. Kristin Dascomb: Excited to be able to offer this to our caregivers. Two hospitals have received it, Utah Valley and LDS. Vaccinations expected to begin Wednesday, starting w/ those in COVID units. #utpol
@Intermountain Driscomb: Will be a tracking system for adverse events. Will be administered when providers can take a day off to recover from symptoms.
Was transported to pharmacy, stored. Will be thawed and administered one at a time to avoid crowds. #utpol
